Coaching

With experience across some of the nation’s top theaters and every medium—from classical theater to commercials and film—I bring a well-rounded perspective to coaching. As an active multi-hyphenate artist, I stay tuned into industry trends to best support your journey. Whether you’re auditioning for an upcoming project or preparing for undergrad or graduate theater programs, I’ll work with you to build confidence in your materials and presence.

My approach centers on non-dominant, actor-led preparation, where confidence unlocks truthful, open performance.

Pick the material

Ready to nail your next audition? Whether you're gearing up for school or a professional role, I’ll help you select material that highlights your unique strengths and makes you stand out. From contemporary and classical monologues to film and TV auditions, I’ll ensure you feel prepared, confident, and ready to do your best work!

Prepping the material

Let’s elevate your craft! In our sessions, you’ll build essential tools and learn a powerful approach to rehearsal that sticks. Together, we’ll break down the text, connect deeply with the words, and uncover your unique voice in the material. These lessons become your foundation—skills you’ll bring to every project, empowering you to approach each role with play and creativity!

Connecting with the artistic Community

The heart of being an artist lies in finding a community that fuels your passion. Connecting with other creatives has been game-changing for me as an actor, and I want help you tap into a dynamic network of artists who uplift, collaborate, and share valuable insights. Surround yourself with inspiring people, and watch your creativity thrive!

Connect ~ Inspire ~ Thrive

Testimonials:

"I took a zoom but tour de force (!) class series with Amanda Pulcini / Green Shirt Studio - Finding Yourself in the Text. It helped me immensely with a deeper understanding of relationships between words, breath, meaning, and ability to express yourself. Amanda Pulcini is a dynamic and engaged instructor - just awesome. And, I also had a lot of fun sharing and learning in a small group setting.”

-Kinga Lipinska

“I took Amanda’s text analysis [at Green Shirt Studios]. We met weekly for only a few weeks. But I am amazed how much I learned - very practical, down to earth insights  into acting. For example, from Amanda I learned how breathing into the text can dramatically affect my presentation. This is something I will use in all my acting. And I can’t end without mentioning Amanda’s enthusiasm for helping students learn and grow. It is a great source of encouragement."

-Tom Ochocinski

“In our monologue coaching session, Amanda helped me achieve breakthrough moments and introduced me to new concepts that I now use in my script analysis. Amanda's thorough coaching really helped me make bold choices and identify the specifics of my character's intentions. I look forward to working with her again!”

-Kayla Moore

“Amanda is a wonderful acting coach - one of the best I’ve worked with. With years of experience and training, Amanda helps you deepen your connection and understanding to a piece of text in a manner that is unique and organic to yourself. A dancer and singer, Amanda offers notes that go beyond the “actorly” what do you want or how are you fighting for your objective. She points out any vocal and physical tendencies which are limiting a free, expressive channel and offers recommendations on how to fix them. Besides her expertise, Amanda is a kind, encouraging, highly articulate human being, and I couldn’t recommend her more. No matter what auditions or callbacks you are preparing for, I am confident Amanda will leave you feeling more prepared and better equipped than before. Five stars!”

-Maricruz Menchero

“I have been fortunate to have been coached by Amanda multiple times, and each time I come away feeling more confident, grounded, and excited about the work I am doing. She has a unique way of leading you to discoveries by way of a mutual dialogue this is always organic. She’s intuitive, receptive, and one of the most emotionally intelligent, and downright intelligent, people I’ve worked with. I have no doubt that I have a better understanding and connection to material specifically because of the work Amanda has done with me. Working with Amanda has helped me grow in ways I could have never expected.”

-Gilly Caulo

“I have never felt more prepared or confident in being myself in any room, whilst also being unapologetic about being ready for the role. I will work with Amanda, time and again, as she brings out the best in what makes me, me. 

Amanda Pulcini is not only a talented and engaging actor herself, but she is an expert on preparing actors for the rooms they want to work in. Auditioning can be a daunting experience. You have a very short timeframe to show an auditioner that you are a human that they want to work with based on your talent and your energy in the room. I am always ready to be the person someone will want to work with, thanks to Amanda.”
